The late Bobby Gottsch dedicated his time and resources to Hastings College, serving as Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees at the time of death in 2011. He gave generously to projects at the College and invested in hard-working students with the potential to be difference makers in their communities and careers, in athletics including rodeo and in maintaining modern physical facilities.

To honor Mr. Gottsch’s legacy, his family and friends have worked in concert with Hastings College to lay the groundwork for a public campaign to raise funds for those projects he supported. This press conference marks the fundraising campaign’s transition from the silent phase to the public phase.
